From: Jae-Ha

Have any shinki woken up one morning to find that they could suddenly recall something? Like a piece of their memory had been restored, as if it were never missing to begin with.

I need to know if it's a bad sign, or if anything needs to be done.

Embarrassing? Well, not to me. Anyway, what can I say? Anyone who's more than a mundane human is the first to catch my ear.

[He looks a little sad, dramatically so.]

And there's not nearly as many of those as you'd think. Everyone else is pretty boring to listen to for long lengths of time.

[Still, he knows what Jae-Ha's interest is in clearly and it's what Schuldig wants to experiment more with anyway. So he nods.]

But yes, that's what I'm saying.

[Even if he hasn't actually done it, he's confident he could do it, especially now that he's peeked into an ayakashi's mind.]

[razzledazzles]

Are you not human yourself?

[He seems like it, but looks can be deceiving. And Jae-Ha is beginning to wonder, with words like that. Still—] Unfortunately, this isn't something that I can afford to mess around with. If even one slip up occurs and I change...

[He'd be letting someone down, is the first thought he has. Not just one someone, but many. There's one that comes to the top of his mind, though, being his god. His more-than-god, from these sappy thoughts...

He can't risk it, as much as he wants to fight the man.]

[volksdaemon]

[He shakes his head no.]

I wasn't before and I'm certainly not anymore.

[But he does hold up a finger to gesture importance and agreement.]

That's arguably the smartest way to think about it, as a shinki. When it comes to drawing memories out, well I don't know you, so I can't do much of that myself. However, if someone else you know were to try jogging your memory...

[He shrugs again at that.]

Well you're already taking precautions, aren't you? What's one more to have on hand? It's just a thought - not being a shinki of course I don't have to worry about such things. It's your decision. Gods are easy to call up either way though. Handy that.

[He idly wonders if this man has ever sent a prayer to his more-than-god as a means of summoning him - a literal booty call - but that's it. Sap was the last thing he personally cared about except as a mental note on who the person was.]

[razzledazzles]

[Schuldig can rest assured that Jae-Ha has more than sap on his plate, with all he thinks about any time the word god is mentioned. There aren't any holy thoughts that fill his mind, that's for sure. He doesn't need to be making any booty calls when they're sharing the same space so often.

So, those words don't do much to ease him, but he does consider them. It doesn't sound like this is a precaution, it sounds more like a risk. But knowing someone who can do something like this doesn't seem like bad information, either...]

If I ever feel daring, I'll keep it in mind. I'd like to make sure I don't vanish or turn into an ayakashi in the next few days, first.

[volksdaemon]

Alright then, that's good enough for me.

[He's pleased for so many reasons. Just like Jae-Ha got some information, so did he.]

If it's all the same to you, I'll take my leave if you're that worried - it sounds like I won't be chatting with your shinki friends either...?

[He wants to, but Jae-Ha hasn't so much as thought their names, and he could snatch them sure, but that would raise the man's suspicions even more at this point.]

[razzledazzles]

I hope you don't take it as any offense.

[Because really, he doesn't know this guy, he doesn't necessarily mean offense. He's just... cautious. And it doesn't seem like his information to give. He thinks he's very cautious, at least! Even if he is actually reckless with himself. See: this conversation. Woops.]

If you ask publicly, they may volunteer themselves. But I don't feel like I should hand them out to just anyone, especially with an ability like yours.

[volksdaemon]

[Schuldig shrugs with a small smile.]

When I want to find them, I will. For now, you've given me plenty to work with.

[And since he's been careful not to mention his real name the whole time, he doesn't care who Jae-Ha talks to about himself either. Ultimately, Nagi is the one who matters, so he's formulating a plan to meet with Nagi again and put some of these ideas into action.

Schuldig knows he doesn't have to stand in order to teleport, but he does anyway. Maybe it's just getting to look down at Jae-Ha as he prepares to leave.]

I may check in on you some other time too.

[razzledazzles]

I'm glad I could provide.

[Hopefully it would be enough for now, at least. He doesn't mind talking about this stuff, even if knowing that this man probably saw his memory is a little invasive... He can't help that if it's an ability, right? Maybe.]

In that case, I'll see you later, perhaps.

[volksdaemon]

[Schuldig can't help the smile that crosses his lips as he teleports away. Perhaps? Hardly. This guy's too interesting to stay away from for long.]
